Gareth Morgan, SORTING FACTS FROM FICTION – 20 In this, the first in an in-depth four-part investigation, Dr Gareth Morgan of MOTO NZ seeks out and analyses the statistics on motorcycles and accidents in this country.

Road news................................11

FASTEST BIKE IS KIWI CREATION.– 24 Kiwis love a challenge. So it was when Richard Assen, Jason Swan and Simon Ward set about breaking a world land speed record. KR Editor Ross MacKay has the story.

LAUNCH REPORT: BMW S 1000 RR.– 28 Still chasing success in the World Superbike Championship, BMW Motorrad has upgraded its S 1000 RR. A suitably impressed Racing Dave reports from the recent Australian launch.

ROAD TEST.: HONDA CROSSRUNNER – 33 Honda’s new Crossrunner is not the easiest bike to get excited about. Until you ride it. Racing Dave and the Ed explain why.

ROAD TEST: KAWASAKI W800 – 38 KR’s staffers are big fans of Kawasaki’s W800. Now, after riding one, long-time contributor and columnist Roger Moroney is too.

ROAD COMPETITION – 63 The Classic Festival is a Pukekohe institution. But whether it can remain so is a moot point, reckons keen 2011 event spectator Michael Esdaile..We also visit the 19th annual International Island Classic at Australia’s Phillip Island circuit.

dirt Features DIRT TEST: KTM 450 SX-F – 93 Nick Franklin had the bike, Ben Townley the track. So new dirt tester Sam Greenslade and regular Callan May had company when they rode KTM’s latest 450 SX-F! DIRT FEATURES: JAPAN MX – 98 The All Japan Motocross Championship is a veritable hotbed of prototype development. Hence visiting Kiwi MX fan Chris Ritchie’s interest in the last two rounds of the 2011 series.

DIRT COMPETITION – 110 Kiwi international Ben Townley kicked off his 2012 season in style at the annual Honda Woodville MXGP in late January. We also feature the No Way in Hell extreme enduro event plus round 1 of the enduro champs ADVENTURE: YAMAHA SAFARI.– 125 It was a case of all change for this year’s Yamaha Safari.

And that wasn’t such a bad thing as Bryce Hayward reports.

KR KIDS: KAWASAKI KX100 – 130 Kawasaki’s KX100 could well be the ideal stepping stone between the various 85cc MX machines and adult-size 125s and 250s. We put KR Kids testers Jake Wightman and William Eyre on one to see what they thought.

1 FOGCITY Anti-Fog Adhesive Lens $2995 Distributor: Nationwide Accessories

Hot products road

The FogCity® lens is treated polyester film with a perimeter adhesive on the reverse side with a patented anti-fog coating on the top surface to prevent formation of fog. The anti-fog treatment is a patented polymer coating which reduces fogging under normal temperature humidity conditions (Conditions with high humidity and extreme cold may cause frosting), even after repeated cleanings. The treatment is extremely hydrophilic which causes condensation to spread as a clear layer, rather than form droplets which appear as fog. Although it absorbs moisture, the coating does not dissolve in water, so it will not smudge when wet.

5 ACERBIS SCUDO BODY ARMOUR $299 Distributor: Darbi Accessories The boss nicked the sample a few months ago – this is his comment: “As a trail rider, I have been using a standard chest protector.

I decided to give this Scudo body armor a try. The first thing I was impressed by was that I no longer needed a separate chest protector, body belt and elbow guards.

The Scudo covers all three in one. The fit is adjustable and it didn’t feel as bulky as my chest protector, this is due to the fully vented stretch mesh fabric. Walking around the pits was ok but maybe not for a long distance walk. Once on the bike you don’t notice it at all, the fit and comfort was excellent. I haven’t truly tested its impact properties yet but the protectors all meet the CE European standards as they have been independently tested and meet the EN impact standards. One reservation I had was would it be too hot in summer and uncomfortable against the skin (had been using a light thermal vest under it until then)? I rode in Maramarua Forest on Power

4

Adventures New Year ride on the 2nd of January. It was great. Very comfortable against the skin and very ventilated so the body didn’t overheat. This is great armour for anyone who wants more protection than a standard chest protector can offer – which I recommend they should have anyway.” Other details: protectors are covered in expanded PU padding; front closure zip and four straps make it easier to put on and custom fit it. Comes in 3 sizes: S/M up to 1.7m (5’7”), L/XL up to 1.8m ( 5’11”), XXL up to 6’3” 6 Metzeler Tourance EXP From $235 Distributor: Forbes & Davies The Tourance EXP is Metzeler’s latest generation tyre in their street enduro range
